Early Separation Agreement

In these difficult economic times, it is imperative school districts look at all options to manage costs. Downsizing and resource reductions are occurring in school districts across the country and Douglas County School District is not immune. District administrators and Union officials have been researching and considering various employee options that will allow the school district to manage payroll costs while maintaining a high quality of education for students.

For a select group of certified/classified employees, the school district has agreed to offer a one-time voluntary separation program in which participation will result in increased retirement/separation benefits for those who voluntarily wish to take advantage of the program.
